Message From the Director

As we begin our 36th consecutive summer, Middle States Soccer Camp is again offering 4 weeks of unique sessions. All sessions are COED. There will be a specific theme each week:

Our GOALSCORING/SPECIALIZED GOALKEEPING SESSION emphasizes playing in the final third and finishing:

• July 19-23 at Westtown School in Westtown, PA. 

Our SKILL ENHANCEMENT SESSION is for players who wish to concentrate on individual development:

• July 26-30 at Salisbury University in Salisbury, MD.

Our ADVANCED PLAYER/GOALKEEPER SESSION is an intense, demanding program for boys and girls, many of whom have aspirations to play in college:

• August 2-6 at Episcopal High School in Alexandria, VA. 

Our PRE-SEASON TRAINING SESSION is an excellent opportunity to get ready for the fall season:

• August 9-13 at Westtown School in Westtown, PA.

Our recently appointed Director of Coaching is Peter Mehlert, who is recognized as one of the premier coaches in the United States. He was the most successful men's soccer coach in the history of American University, where he compiled a record of 194-122-38 from 1972-1991.

In 1985 he took American to the NCAA finals and was named Division 1 National Coach of the Year. In 1990, he led the AU women's team to an 11-3-1 record, the best in the program's history. Pete will be directly in charge of all training and staff assignments at every Middle States site this summer.

Our Site Directors are Matt Zipin, Boys Soccer Coach at Germantown Friends School (Philadelphia, PA); Brian Derrickson, Boys and Girls Soccer Coach at Middletown High School (Middletown, DE); and Rick Wilcox, Boys Soccer Coach at Episcopal High School (Alexandria, VA). Peri Holmes is our Office Manager. She will be more than happy to assist with registration or with any other needs you may have.

We are excited about the 2009 season and look forward to having you with us.
 
      Richard Broad, Director
